Wyoming fall bear?
I'll be in north central Colorado and south central Wyoming next fall. It appears fall bear is over the counter. Can someone school me on fall bear in that area?- jnd1959

How was the winter in southern WY?
As it says in the heading, I haven't checked how the winter was since March. It looked to be ok as far as winter kill. Has that changed? -
Duck decoys or geese shells
Looking for large or magnum floaters (mallards, pintails). I just need to replace about a dozen that I'm retiring. Will be hunting further north this year so some Canada shells are on my list as well. Thanks- jnd1959

This month's Backcountry fuel box.
Thought I'd start a discussion on this month's fuel box. I got mine today and I won't spoil it for those who haven't but I will say there are no chocolate chirp cookies. It looks like a decent haul. Post what you like and don't like. My son has already raided the beef sticks and said the bbq...- jnd1959

Kansas pheasant suggestions
Well, since we didn't draw Wyoming we've scrapped the mountain hunts in favor of some flatland bird harassment. Any suggestions on guides/CSAs? My son has never hunted behind dogs so I'm thinking a place where we ca can hunt wild birds in the morning and a CSA in the afternoon. He was going to...- jnd1959

Painting backpacks
I have several osprey backpacks that I'd like to repurpose for hunting, at least this coming year. They all have a lot of miles on them but are still in good shape. Trouble is they are all blue. Has anyone tried to use cloth paint on a backpack? Suggestions appreciated.- jnd1959

Preserving whole hide and gutless method
I've always liked the feel of a young cow elk hide and wondered how they would hold up if tanned. I'm thinking of trying to skin the next suitable elk for tanning but still do the gutless quarters. Has anyone tried this? Does it even make sense? I'm very allergic to deer hair but don't seem to...- jnd1959

Son's first elk hunt this fall.
If point creep doesn't get us, my son and I are hunting pronghorn in Wy for three days then he's hunting second season OTC elk in Co. The unit we're looking at has a recent burn area at 6 to 8k but a lot of access and roads through it. There's also a wilderness area about 15 miles away that... -
AK Caribou tags
My son, daughter and I are planning a Haul Road caribou hunt in 2020. I'm a little confused about the tags. When I read the Alaska guidelines it appeared the tags were draw only. But when I read older posts people talked about buying otc tags. Have the regs changed in the last few years? If so...- jnd1959
